The **Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery** and **Vivid Projects** are collaborating for a second iteration of ***Cut, Copy, Remix***, which aims to connect “members of the **Black Hole Club** with artists at significant development stages to make new work in response to **Birmingham Museums Trust Digital Image Resource**; the first collection in the UK to make all out-of-copyright artworks available for free under a **Creative Commons Zero Licence**”, explains the Vivid Projects website.

New work from Birmingham-based performance-maker and drag artist **Fatt Butcher** has been commissioned. In **The Pageant of Birmingham**, they will be exploring “the camp, chaotic, and downright baffling history of ’The Pageant of Birmingham 1938’. An enormously expensive city-wide performance pageant featuring a fire-breathing paper mâché dinosaur and the formation of the city of Birmingham – this timely and satirical response considers the lengths the cultural sector will go to in search of ‘civic pride’.”

The film first screened at Vivid Projects on **June 3**, however, it is [also available online](https://vimeo.com/718682361?ref=scenemag.co.uk). Plus, all work made for *Cut, Copy, Remix* will culminate with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in **October 2022**, with events, online content, and new emerging works to be showcased.
